original nppncntion aina January 7,

To all 'whom t may cof/warn.'

Be it known that `I, LEONARD F. BURCHETT, a citizen of the United States,'residing at Edmonton, in the Province of Alberta and Dominion of Canada, have-invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Radiator, of which the following is' a specification.

'This invention relates to a radiator for heatin purposes and has for its object to genera ly improveupon character by providing a evice which will beef extremely simple,durable and inexpensive construction, one which is eicient and reliable in o eration, and well adapted to the purpose or which it is designed.

With the abovev and numerous other objects in view, the invention resides' in certain novel features .of constructionfand the combination and arrangement of parts as will be v hereinafter fully described and claimed.

The subject-matter of the present invention was dlvided from my pending appllca# tion relating to a du lex humidity heating system filed January 1920,Ser1al Number 349,855.

In the drawings f Figure 1 is a side view df the radiator, vparts being broken awa Figure 2 is an end v1ew of the radiator, an end portion being broken away, and Figure 3 is atop plan view of the radiator, a. portion of the top being broken away to show more clearl the formation of the body. Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the radiator is constructed with a erorated to to admit ofthe -ready escape o vapor whereby the atmosphere is rendered humid and the temperature regulated. As shown more clearly in' Figures 2 and 3 the top 1 is provided with a plurality of ,open-l ings 2 which are distributed throughout the extent' of the topv and of such size as to provide a ready escape for steam. The body 3,

i 'of the radiator is .fluted or corrugated to rovide hea-t radiatlng surface and to allow or contraction and expansion whereby in the event of the radiator freezing it `will not` A l tending to throw the radiator out of servi-ce.

suffer fracture, or other injurious results In the referable construction the p-arts of diator are formed of sheet -metal pressed or otherwise fashioned into the den sired shape. While it is preferred to conl struct .the radiator'of sheet metal whollygor in partslit is to be understood that it may be cast'in the usual way. AJ heating pipe 5 is disposed within the lower portion Jof the radiator and is connected with the heating fluid supply pipe 6'.

The pipe 5 may be of any size and is connected at its ends with thel ends of the radiator by suitable fittings'. The end of the pipe remote from that connected with/the .supply pipe 16 is adapted torba closed by? f meaIlSfOf a plug or ca '7 which when re- 65 moved admitsof draimng'the radiator. vA valve 8 is disposed in the connection between the supply pipe 6 andthe radiator pipe 5. At 9 in the pipe 5 there is provided an Y opening for `receiving the smaller pipe` 10 70 which is provided at its end with an air release valve 11 which is situated within lthe radiator. r The top lisprovided with a p air df annular Adepending flanges '12 yand 13. The flange -12 is disposed withinthe flange 13 and extends -at right angles from the body iof the top 1 while the flange 13 extends at an obtusev angle therefrom. The purpose of flange 12 is to solder or otherwise fix it to the iuted body 3 Vwhile the flange I13 has for its purpose to direct the heated air voutwardly from the r viator instead of allowing it to go upwardly.

Having thusdescribed my invention what Iclaim as new is:

. 1. A radiatorl of the class/described comprising a lluted body, a top having a plurality of apertures mountedion the body and in'- cluding a pair of flanges `extending from its, edges one of said anges extended' at right angles from the bdy of the top and the other flange extending Vat an obtuse an Hle 'y therefrom, 4said right angularly extendlng ange being in engagement with the fiuted ing pipe passing through the water and nonbody. communicating therewith. 10 2. A combined heating and humidifying In testimony whereof I affix my signature water containing radiator comprising a body in presence of two witnesses.
